TSN interview with Luongo to air at 6:00 EST
This could be interesting. His first on-air interview since the Schneider trade. Some interesting quotes (per James Duthie)
Luongo also talks about breaking down after not being dealt at deadline and "blacking out" when he learned VAN had traded Schneider.Luongo also reveals that in May he had serious talks with the NHLPA about the possibility of voiding his deal and walking away from 40m.

I hope Lu gets a massive standing O in Van on their opening night. And I hope he has a hell of a season.

I'm sure he will get one.Originally Posted by STONE.
I sure hope so, I signed him to a 4 yr contract last season, I'd like to get 3 great years out of him now
Im confident in Luongo. I dont pretend to know what it takes mentally to be an all-star goalie, but I have no doubt with his growth in that regard the past 1-2 years that he will put up all-star numbers, start for team canada and make a deep run for the gold medal. (Ultimately i think sweden or russia will win though =S)
Couldn't agree more.

I'm conflicted.
On one hand I'd really like to see Luongo come back with a great season...
...on the other hand that would mean the team would be doing well and people might conclude that Gillis knows what he is doing.
So... yeah... I'm conflicted
